This is a book I'd say I wished I'd written, except then I wouldn't have had the fun of reading it. Abigail MacKay, the female Pinkerton, is a delightful heroine, strong and resourceful but deeply human. Hero Nat Quinn is a worthy adversary and love interest, and his partner, Jake Conroy, equally well-drawn. Asbrey's worked in the criminal justice system, and it shows -- she really knows her stuff. I'd say she'd lived in the 19th century, too, as she gets that letter-perfect -- I did my grad work in Victorian literature and way too many historical novels throw me right out of the story with anachronisms; Asbrey absolutely did not. I want to read more about these characters, and see how they're thrown together again, soon -- and luckily, the next one is out later this summer, so I won't have to wait a year to find out . . .
